Second Star Trek Hiking Stick

Just a fun fan art piece for Star Trek. I wasn’t sure what to make with this piece since it’s relatively thin thus making it harder to display something with any detail, but eventually I landed on a Star Trek combadge and colored bands representing the different areas of expertise onboard a starship. The iconic words “To Boldly Go” are also wood burned onto the side. It’s made of sumac wood, stands at 57 inches, and has a coat of sealant to protect the ink and a coating of boiled linseed oil to protect the wood.

King Ezekiel Hiking Staff

King Ezekiel is one of my favorite characters on “The Walking Dead” and recently the idea came to me to place some of his most iconic quotes on a large walking staff. I chose “And yet I smile” followed by“Drink from the well, replenish the well” on one side and “We will mine glory from the rock of struggle this day” on the reverse in stylized lettering. Above the quotes are a leather rawhide hand grip accented by a large bird feather. At the top of the staff, both sides depict a crown, sword, and bird feather in continuing with the same source of inspiration, but all aspects of the piece serve it well interdependently of their source. The staff itself is made of maple wood, stands at 66.5 inches, is finely sanded, and coated in boiled linseed oil for protection from the elements.
